Conan 3 Status Update

There's been a lot of movement with the Conan the Barbarian property over the past few days.¿ It was announced in last week's Wall Street Journal that Stan Lee Media had purchased Conan Properties Inc., in a $4.3 million stock swap.¿ Shortly following the announcement, Variety reported that Stan Lee Media plans to produce online comic "webisodes" of the Conan series.

This cast some doubt on the possible return of John Milius to the director's chair for Conan 3. We reported back in July that the Wachowski brothers, currently busy with The Matrix sequels, intend to produce the film, with Milius writing and directing.

Have no fear Conan fans!¿ Sources close to John Milius and the Wachowskis tell FilmForce that things are still proceeding according to plan.¿ The recent deal with Stan Lee Media doesn't affect forward movement with the Conan 3 project at all.
